TRL013 - Get Comfortable Going First and Being Weird (Crossover from The Sovereign Homestead Podcast)
Welcome to The Resilient Learner Podcast!
We help learners of all ages cultivate the adaptable mindsets and skills necessary to carve their own path in their education and careers.
Today's episode is a crossover from when I was a guest on the Sovereign Homestead Podcast.The mission of the podcast is to "help liberty-loving people to design and create resilient homesteads that yield maximum freedom and provide for a high Quality of Life." Now homesteading may not be your thing, but this episode hits on many of the ideas that form the basis of The Resilient Learner. The title of this episode is Go First and Be Weird, and that is definitely something that we do around here. Sometimes, no one has created your ideal 'major' or 'career', and it's up to you to do it yourself. You have to get comfortable being at the head of the pack, so to speak. In this discussion, Casey and I talk about some experiences we've had where we've been the weirdos in the front and how we've emotionally dealt with that, and of course, what we've learned. Many of the topics aren't strictly related to what we've covered so far on the show, but I hope this episode gives you a glimpse of how the principles underlying this show can be used in other arenas of life.
If you're new to the podcast, The Resilient Learner Podcast may be for you if you relate to any of the following:
* You love to learn and are currently trying to learn something (start a new career/major/school/degree/class) but you're feeling fearful/stuck/unclear about how to proceed.
* You lack clarity about your desires, goals, purpose and don't know where to begin to figure it all out.
* You feel that your education did NOT prepare you to be successful in the 'real world' and want to do something about it now.
* You have impostor feelings and self-doubt is eating you alive and limiting your professional opportunities.
* You were a high achiever in K-12 and labeled as having 'a lot of potential', yet find yourself stuck and dissatisfied with your education and/or career.
* You were very good at following paths created for you by authority figures, but feel incapable of creating your own 'life syllabus'.
